Here we are back to square one.
After the unsuccessful call for tenders from the League, which received no proposal above the reserve price for the various lots put back on the market, French football continues to advance blindly.
And in this happy mess, there is an OM-PSG Classico looming next Sunday.
If the LFP announced that the Téléfoot channel would continue to broadcast Ligue 1 matches until next February 3 (with the 23rd day scheduled for Wednesday), could it further extend its false start and take charge of the shock between Marseille and Paris? ?
A Classico, several possibilities
Otherwise M6 is on the spot.
A few minutes after the announcement of the LFP, Nicolas de Tavernost, the boss of the channel, published a tweet to propose to broadcast the meeting in clear.
"After this unsuccessful call for tenders and in order not to deprive the public of the OM / PSG match, M6 reiterates its proposal to the LFP to broadcast the match this Sunday," he wrote.
The other possibility would be to see beIN Sports broadcast the Classic, which holds, after Canal has given it back to it, lot 3 which includes the Sunday evening match.
But for that, the Qatari group would have to pay what it owes to the League.
Indeed, it expects a payment of 56.4 million euros by Friday.
But nothing says at present that she will see the color.
